Starr920, you mentioned offering to tip the lotto retailer? I heard of that, but figure, hey, they get a percentage of sales don't they? I can go months without a single hit. I go a variety of places to play, but none nearly as much as to him. On crazy days, after a win, I can sometimes play half my winnings away, including getting multiple 10 dollar scratchers - not once will he try to be a voice of reason. I guess I really don't expect him to be, but I can remember one extreme where in trying to cover mid and eve on multiple tickets of every single number I could ever have thought of as likely, I clocked out at about 100 bucks - didn't win a dime. 20-25 dollars a draw is pretty standard when I play. I'd say his tip is taken care of.

Your 965 and 519 you mentioned looks good. I'm looking for 503 and a flurry of those long out doubles soon.

254 503 374

057 (that car repair ticket - came in NY)

940 (cousin's house # -visited Sun 1st time in 4 years!)

188 (came in NY)

488 449 499 779

and when tempted by a scratch off, I'll QP a cash 5 instead.

Seems so simple: three digits, 168 to one odds when boxed... all you have to do is pick the right ones!
